Title: Improvements in Hand Vacuum Cleaners and Sweepers for Carpets and Floors.
IPC: A47L5/04
Filed: 1913-05-29
Granted: 1914-05-29
Abstract: 12,516. Entwisle & Kenyon, and Shorrock, J. L. May 29. Carpet - sweepers. - The handles of carpetsweepers are arranged so that they are locked when in the vertical position and remain locked, or are moved into a second locked position when used to carry the machines. The bail A is pivoted at a in an inclined slot b in a bracket B, and is retained in a vertical position by a pin a<1> sliding over the inclined edge of a T- shaped slot c in a retaining-bracket C. When the apparatus is lifted, the pins a, a<1> slide to the tops of slots b, c and the handle remains locked. In modifications of this type, the equivalent of the slot c may be formed in the bail or in a special fitting attached to the bail, and the bracket C is then replaced by a pin or projecting piece. In further modifications, a lug is adapted to engage in recesses at the top and bottom of a slot in the bail, or pins on the bail engage in recesses formed in a circular track in the bracket B. The bail may be pivoted to a swinging link instead of a slot. In cases where the bail does not move when the machine is lifted, it is retained in a slot in a spring-pressed latch or between a stop on a retaining bracket and a lug on a spring over which it rides in coming to the vertical position. In modifications, the bail is retained against a stop by a latch on the bail or on the casing.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Electric Cut Outs.
Inventor: MURRAY THOMAS EDWARD
IPC: H01H85/041
Filed: 1913-07-28
Granted: 1914-05-28
Abstract: 17,345. Murray, T. E. Feb. 4, [Convention date]. Fusible cut-outs.-An electric cut-out comprises a two-armed fuse strip 4 mounted on a carrier 2, and a support 14 for the carrier, the support being pivoted on a base 5 and adapted to move the fuse arms into and out of engagement with contacts 7, 9 mounted on the base. The invention is shown as applied to a threecircuit system, in which three fuse-carriers are mounted on separate arms 14 carried by a shaft 13 pivoted in lugs 12 on the base, the shaft being operated by a handle 21 outside the fuse casing 22. The fuse-carriers are secured to the arms 14 by means of split rods 17 on the arms, which engage holes 18 in the fuse-carriers. The contacts 7, 9 are formed on plates 6, 8 mounted in recesses in the base 5, and on the arms 14 is mounted a cross-bar 15 with insulating-partitions 16 which extend between the fuse-carriers. The fuse strip is made narrower at the bend in order to ensure rupture at this point, and by reason of the fact that the current flows in opposite directions in the arms of the strip, the arms are forced asunder when the fuse blows.

Abstract: 12,881. Milne, S. May 26. Digesters.-The rotary digester a of cylindrical, spherical, or other shape and for use in treating material for paper making &c. is fitted internally with two gratings d arranged near the ends to form spaces a<1>, a<2>, which are connected by a pipe e. A pipe f supplies steam to a nozzle for circulating the liquor from the space a<1> through the pipe e to the space a<2> and then back through the material to the space a<1> again. Steam may be supplied to both ends of the pipe e, which is then provided with an outlet opening near the centre. A pipe i supplies the liquor to a space beneath a longitudinal grating h, which is disposed opposite the charging-openings g. Baffles may be fitted in the digester. The contents of the digester are discharged into a tank k, where they are further treated by agitators m on a shaft l. The tank is preferably V-shaped with a rounded bottom, and is provided with a splashguard. The material may be removed from the tank by screws, buckets, &c. without further dilution, or may be diluted with waste liquor or water to consistency suitable for pumping. For shortfibred material, such as esparto, the discharge pump may be used for circulating the liquor in the tank. Alternatively, the tank may be provided with a grating and outlet cock for draining off the liquor and allowing the material to be washed. The tank may be sloped towards one end, in which case a series of tanks may be served by one conveying or transporting apparatus.

Title: Utilization of triploid (en) cells of plant endosperm (mainly annuals) for the production of asexual reproducing material and desirable seedless fruits.
Inventor: TSAKAS SPYROS
IPC: A01H4/00
Filed: 2000-11-10
Abstract: he invention refers to the generation and asexual reproduction of triploid plants by using their triploid endosperm. The aim : 1) to take advantage of the sterility associated with triploidy (absence of seeds in their fruits), 2) stability of desirable phenotypic traits, and 3) exploitation of the observed vigor of the triploid plants.With this patent triploid plants could be obtained for : 1) annual crop plants that will be seedless such as : watermelon, melon, tomato, strawberry, etc. and 2) perennial plants without seeds such as : grape, apple, pear, olive, cherry, sweet cherry, stone fruits, avocado, etc.The endosperm of the seed with the aid of specific chemicals, conditions and growth substances (described above) could develop into triploid plants which, upon asexual reproduction, could be multiplied an used in a production line.Especially for the annual triploid plants the asexually-reproduced plant material (cells, tissues, etc.) could be conserved under extremely low temperature conditions (-80 degrees C and below) for extended periods. Finally, the asexual-reproductive plant material of the annual plants with specific overlays/coverings (like the ones used by the pharmaceutical industry for the pill formation) and incorporation of growth regulators and additional chemicals, could result in the creation of an asexual-reproductive material in the form of "little bullets" that could be used by the farmers like the seeds of the corresponding annual plants. Therefore, with the planting of these "little bullets" triploid annual plants that will produce seedless fruits will result.
